Chapter 695 The Death Eaters' Decision

After solving the giant's crisis, Kyle and others did not leave here immediately, but prepared to follow the giant to their tribe.

But before leaving, Kyle looked at the Death Eater on the ground and asked, "What about him? Should we take him with us?"

"Leave it to me." Hagrid took out a round mirror, walked aside and whispered to it.

To be honest, the mirror was not big, just like the one a girl carried with her. When Hagrid held it, it was like holding a piece of freshly baked corn chips, as if it could be crushed at any time.

Fortunately, this did not happen.

After a while, two small black dots fell from the sky and came to the few people in almost the blink of an eye.

Sirius and Lupin staggered to the ground.

"Hello, Mr. Scamander, Ms. Maxime." Lupin threw a stone in his hand to the side. They just came here through this door key, but it is useless now.

"Oh, and Kyle, Hagrid, long time no see."

"Long time no see, Remus." Hagrid said, "I was worried that the mirror wouldn't work."

"I've been guarding the two-way mirror." Lupin also took out a round mirror and said with a smile, "As long as you call my name, I can hear it the first time. How is it, you didn't encounter any danger?"

"Fortunately, everything was solved." Hagrid said.

Then he briefly recounted what happened just now... Mainly because when he arrived here, the whole valley was already shrouded in thick fog, and he didn't see anything more detailed.

While they were talking, Sirius on the other side had also discovered the Death Eater lying on the ground. He walked over, and after seeing the other person's appearance, the whole person suddenly froze in place.

It wasn't until someone patted his shoulder that he came back to his senses.

"What's wrong?" Lupin asked.

"Ah, nothing." Sirius shook his head, his eyes still on the Death Eater, "Do you know who he is?"

"Lestrange?" Lupin looked over and said with some surprise.

Although he had just heard the news from Hagrid, he had a different feeling after seeing it with his own eyes.

Because the other party was an old acquaintance of theirs, and they had dealt with each other a dozen years ago.

"Yes, Lestrange." Sirius shook his head, "Remember when he was in school? He was so high-spirited."

"Of course I remember, he was a big shot in Slytherin, and he was also the prefect and the president of the boy's student union." Lupin said, "It's a pity that he later joined the mysterious man."

"Why, you know him?" At this time, Kyle said curiously, "You usually don't get so sentimental about a dead Death Eater."

"Sentimental? How is that possible!" Sirius shook his head, "It's just that we had a lot of dealings when we were in school, and he was the husband of my cousin Bellatrix, so he was a relative."

"Ah, sorry." Hagrid said subconsciously, "I didn't mean to..."

"What are you talking about, Hagrid." Sirius glanced at him, "He is a Death Eater, why are you apologizing, even if I were here, I would definitely kill him.

"And speaking of relatives, our pure-blood families are more or less related, and I am not familiar with him."

"Aren't you still cellmates? "Kyle muttered quietly beside him.

Sirius was stunned for a moment, then turned back and glared at Kyle unhappily.

"Okay, you're right." He muttered, "Lestrange was next to me at the time, and he said he wanted to kill me, but a month later he couldn't say anything... this idiot."

While he was talking, Lupin had already carried Lestrange up.

"We have to go, Alastor and the others are still waiting." He took out another stone from his pocket and said.

"So soon?"

"Don't forget, the door key has a time limit..." Lupin said, "We can't help much here."

"Okay then." Sirius put his hand on the stone, "Do you want to go back together? We can go together."

"No." Newt said, "We have other things to do and can't go back for the time being."

"We can contact you at any time if there is any situation. "Lupin waved his hand.

After that, the two disappeared again.

Then, Kyle and his group prepared to go to the giant tribe to take a look.

According to Newt, they must make sure that there is really no problem with the giant.

"But is this really possible?"

The group walked in the direction where the giant left, and Kyle asked with some concern: "We just stopped the giant from joining the mysterious man, and the Death Eaters who came here were also killed and injured. What if the mysterious man is angry and comes here in person? We are not his opponents. "

"Don't worry, the mysterious man will not come." Newt shook his head and said:

"Before setting off, Dumbledore said that the mysterious man looked down on all magical animals, and would not treat the Death Eaters who followed him sincerely, but just used them as tools.

"He will be angry for sure, but it's just because the order he issued was not completed. He will not change his original plan and come to avenge them in person."

"And even if he comes, we have a way to deal with it." Newt vowed.

Seeing this, Kyle didn't say anything else, just walked forward along the huge footprints on the ground with the other three people.

The location of the giant tribe was farther than he thought, and the footprints extended forward, with no end in sight.

After walking for about a whole day, they finally came to a more hidden valley, which should be the middle of the mountain range.

And for some reason, the sound of insects and birds that never stopped along the way had disappeared unconsciously, as if something terrible made them unwilling to approach here.

Under the leadership of Newt, several people came to a hillside and looked down from a distance.

Below was a valley, surrounded by huge caves dug by humans.

And the giants they had seen before were now gathering in front of the cave and fighting each other.

"This is the election of Xin Gugo." Newt said: "The giants will choose the most powerful one to be their leader. The easiest way is this kind of melee."

"It's almost the same as the fire dragon." Kyle whispered.

When they were in the Romanian Fire Dragon Reserve before, did they see similar situations?

"It's almost the same." Newt nodded, "Or most magical animals will choose the most suitable leader in this way, and giants and fire dragons are no exception."

As they were talking, the valley was gradually dyed red with blood.

That was the blood of the giants, which was like a fountain, spilling out continuously, dyeing every stone red.

"I don't know how many of them will be left after the new Gugo is selected this time." Maxim's voice was a little strange.

"Don't worry..." Newt shook his head, "Although the giants will kill the previous Gugo to determine the identity of their new leader, the situation is different now. In order not to lose too much combat power, they will not kill their opponents... Oh, look."

Newt pointed to the valley below.

Following the direction of his finger, Kyle saw a relatively thinner giant being knocked to the ground with a punch, but his opponent did not take the opportunity to kill him, but immediately found a new opponent for himself.

At the same time, the fallen giant did not continue to participate in the battle after getting up, but came to the side consciously.

There are also some shorter or thinner giants there, who are not qualified to participate in the battle at all.

"See?" Newt continued, "In this case, falling to the ground means failure, and the last giant standing will become the new Gugo until the next challenger appears."

Kyle watched for a while.

Sure enough, every giant who fell to the ground would consciously withdraw from the battlefield.

...

Just like before in the Romanian Fire Dragon Sanctuary, the battle between giants is also a long process.

After quickly eliminating several of the weakest competitors, the remaining giants entered a tug-of-war.

Kyle and his team stayed on the top of the mountain for a whole week, and the battle was not over yet.

Kyle, who was very excited at the beginning, was a little bored at this time.

The battle between the giants was just a few tactics back and forth. You punch me and I kick you back. The excitement of punching and hitting the flesh was really interesting when you watched it for the first time, but it was a bit boring to watch it for seven days in a row.

But the good news is that they did not see Voldemort or the Death Eaters during this period.

As Newt said, Voldemort did not seem to come to avenge Lestrange... No, to be precise, he did not mean to cause trouble for them.

"The Death Eaters attacked St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries..."

This morning, when Kyle came out of the tent, he happened to see Hagrid talking to Lupin through a two-way mirror.

Because owls would reveal their positions, they had been using this method to understand the situation outside during this period.

"The Death Eaters attacked St. Mungo's?" Hearing Lupin say this, Hagrid couldn't help shouting, "How dare they!"

"In fact, they did." Lupin said, "The good news is that they attacked with a purpose, and most people were not attacked..."

At this time, Kyle also walked over and looked at the two-way mirror.

"Oh, Kyle." Lupin greeted, "How are you there, are you in any danger?"

"Of course not." Kyle said. "By the way, the Death Eaters attacked St. Mungo's, it couldn't be for the Longbottoms..."

"No, it's not..."

Lupin's voice was a little strange, as if he wanted to laugh, but he held it back.

"It was for Umbridge." He said.

"What?" Hagrid scratched his ear, "Who are you talking about?"

"Dolores Umbridge." Lupin repeated, "The Death Eaters raided her ward and tortured her again in front of everyone."

"Huh?"

Hagrid looked even more puzzled, "But why? That Umbridge is not a member of the Order of the Phoenix."

"But she is from the Ministry of Magic and is also a well-known anti-dark magic person. Especially some time ago, her name often appeared in the newspapers."

The Death Eaters also said..." Lupin suddenly paused, as if trying to calm himself down. After a moment, he pretended to be calm and continued:

"The Death Eaters also said that this is the end of going against the Dark Lord. They want Umbridge to say in front of everyone that the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix are trash and can never defeat the Dark Lord."

"Did Umbridge say that?" Hagrid asked anxiously.

"...No." Lupin's expression became even stranger.

"That's good." Hagrid breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems that I was wrong before. I didn't expect her to be a tough guy... If she said that in front of everyone, we would lose face."

"Hagrid..." Kyle patted his arm and said, "What do you think Death Eaters usually use when they want to torture people?"

"Of course it's the Cruciatus Curse." Hagrid said without thinking, and he waved his arm fiercely, "Those bastards, they have tortured members of the Order of the Phoenix in this way before."

"That's the problem The key point. "Kyle said, "Do you think a person who is suffering from the Cruciatus Curse can still say anything?"

"Ah? Can't you?" Hagrid was stunned for a moment, a little confused, "I have also been hit by the Cruciatus Curse before. Although the feeling is very painful, it's just like that. It's not to the point of being unable to speak..."

"Don't forget that you are a half-giant." Kyle rubbed his forehead and said, "The blood of the giant gives you an extraordinary resistance to the curse, but ordinary wizards don't have this advantage."

"Oh." Hagrid nodded as if he understood.

But Kyle didn't explain so much. He looked at Lupin in the two-way mirror and prepared to ask more details.

But at this time, Newt's voice came from not far away.

"Finally, the winner is about to be decided."

After hearing his words, Kyle didn't care about talking to Lupin and ran over.

At this time, the valley had completely turned into a dark red color. Even from such a distance, Kyle could smell the blood in the air.

There were only two giants left standing there staggeringly in the valley. When Kyle passed by, they just raised their fists at the same time and hit each other in the face.

There was no skill, just a simple collision of power.

After a moment, the giant on the left shook and his huge body fell to the ground.

"Bang!"

The giant on the right raised his head and roared deafeningly.

At the same time, the giants in the cave came out one after another and knelt in front of him to show their submission.

"It seems that he is the new Gogo." Newt said. "Wait for me."

After that, he disappeared from the spot and appeared not far away from the giant.

The giants kneeling on the ground immediately stood up vigilantly.

Because the distance was too far, Kyle couldn't hear what they said. He only saw Newt stretching his arms, lowering his head, and walking slowly forward with a weird pace, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right.

And the giants gradually relaxed their vigilance and just surrounded their new Gogo in the middle.

"Should we go to help?" Hagrid asked nervously, "The distance is too close. If they rush in, Mr. Scamander will be in danger."

"Ah, don't worry." Kyle looked at it for a while and waved his hand.

He knew that this was Newt's unique way of getting along with magical animals.

If he was not sure, he would not go to see the giants alone.

And the roars of the giants were no longer as violent and threatening as at the beginning. Obviously, Newt had succeeded.

In this way, the rest of the things are much simpler. Newt has rich experience.

They can't help much now, they can only intensify the conflict.

"It's amazing..."

Maxim on the side exclaimed, "Although I have known for a long time that Mr. Scamander has extraordinary abilities in magical animals, it is still shocking to see it with my own eyes.

"Just when the giant tribe of Gugo was selected, he was able to gain the trust of the other party so easily at the most nervous and violent time. "

She thought of the time when she and Hagrid came here before.

They have giant blood, but even so, they lowered their posture, gave gifts, and finally got the opportunity to meet Googol after a long time.

As a result, Newt can handle it in minutes now, and the difficulty is much higher than they did at that time.

Or they are professional, the gap is too big, it's like an invisible chasm, and even the innate advantages can't catch up.

After stopping Hagrid, Kyle was ready to continue to ask Lupin about the situation in the wizarding world, but the other party seemed to have something else to do and disappeared from the two-way mirror.
